D Galactose

D-galactose has numerous important functions in the human body. For example, it is an essential building material for the walls of body cells, it plays a major role in the metabolism of brain cells and is an essential component of nerve cells.
It enables the sugar to pass through cell membranes even where insulin-dependent transport would otherwise fail. In the cell, galactose is then immediately converted into glucose. This property makes galactose particularly interesting for people who suffer from impaired insulin receptor function, because the “mirror-image” sugar can counteract an energy deficit in the cells. This is important because insufficient glucose metabolism has negative effects on nerve cells because not enough neurotransmitters can be produced.
Galactose is also suitable for people with lactose intolerance, in whom the enzyme lactase no longer breaks down lactose properly into galactose and glucose.
Our galactose is produced enzymatically from food-grade lactose as starting material, resulting a product purity of 99.5%.

Galactose is a naturally occurring versatile, simple sugar (monosaccharide) used in glycolysis to generate energy in the form of ATP. Galactose is also synthesized in the body and forms part of glycolipids, used to maintain the cell membrane's stability and facilitate cellular recognition, and glycoproteins, which serve many bodily functions, including immunity. It is an essential building block of cerebrosides – essential glycosphingolipids components of muscle and nerve cell membranes.*

Galactose is one of eight essential sugars needed in the diet for proper cell development and functioning of the human body.* It supports critical biological processes within the body and is a fundamental and structural substance for the matrix of cellular and intracellular functions. Galactose sharpens immune response to actual pathogen location while lessening excessive immune responses.*

• Precursor to glucose production that supports energy production*
• Plays a role in the formation of myelin sheath, which protects nerve cells, by forming galactocerebrosides*
• Supports kidney function*
• Supports normal physiological functions of the body*
